Superior vena cava syndrome from protein S deficiency
was diagnosed in a 32 year-old female. A three month
period of medical treatment did not relieve her symptoms.
We performed a “right atrial-jugular vein graft bypass”
which relieved her symptoms within 10 days. The patient
did not develop any complications in the 18 month postoperative
period. We present this case with a review of the
relevant literature.
